Additional Information

Laboratory Activities

Laboratory investigations that include scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, emerging technologies, tools and equipment, as well as, experimental, quality, and safety procedures are an integral part of this career and technical program/course. Laboratory investigations benefit all students by developing an understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, as well as the skills required to manage, operate, calibrate and troubleshoot equipment/tools used to make observations. Students understand measurement error; and have the skills to aggregate, interpret, and present the resulting data. Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences for students.

Access to sports facilities and equipment is required.

Special Notes

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment as recreation leaders (SOC 39-9032), recreation supervisors, group recreation workers, or recreation facility attendants or to provide supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in these occupations.

This program focuses on planning, management, finance, technical and production skills, underlying principles of technology, labor issues, community issues and health, safety and environmental issues.  Each institution teaching this program is encouraged to meet specific activity needs of their student population and subsequent demands of their regional workforce.

Planned and supervised occupational activities may be provided through directed laboratory experience; a clinical practicum in several recreation areas, both indoor and outdoor; or cooperative experience as effective teaching/learning strategies.  

Accommodations

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities to meet individual needs and ensure equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their counselor and/or instructors.
